Title: Rove Stopping Motion for Spinning Frames.
Inventor: FOREMAN GEORGE
IPC: D01H13/18
Filed: 1911-04-21
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 9726. Foreman, G., and McLellan, W. April 21. Delivery, stopping.-The yarn i passes over an arm c on a cranked rod b pivoted in brackets a, k attached to the frame of the machine and carrying a plate d which is engaged by an arm f<1> of a bell-crank lever f<1>, f<2> connected by a link l with a slightly overhung pivoted arm h. The pressure of the thread on the arm e sustains the arm h in its upstanding position, but. should the thread break, the arm h drops and its hackled end engages with the rove, which, by the drawing action of the rolls h<1>, h<2>, draws the arm down. The rove is then drawn sideways out of the nip of the rolls h<1>, h<2>, and at the same time the pressure of the arm f against the plate d causes a hackled arm e attached to the plate d to engage the rove and retain it between the breast-plate e<1> and conductor-rod e<2>.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Butadiene and Homologues thereof.
Inventor: PERKIN WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: C07C1/24
Filed: 1912-07-24
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 17,235. Perkin, W. H., and Matthews, F. E. July 24. Butadiene and its homologues; synthetic caoutchouc substances.-Butadiene is obtained by heating ethylene with catalysts, or butylene with or without catalysts. Instead of butylene, butyl alcohol, aldehyde or halide may be similarly treated, butadiene being obtained directly or with the intermediate formation of an olefine. Homologues of butadiene can be obtained by treating homologues of butylene and butyl compounds in the same manner. Suitable catalysts for use are metallic chlorides, phosphates, borates, non-metallic substances such as silicon, boron, phosphorus, also compounds of these elements. In an example, butyl alcohol is passed over a mixture of reduced copper, and aluminium silicate, the alcohol vapour being advantageously attenuated. The mixture of butadiene and butylene obtained is subjected to the action of sodium to polymerize the butadiene. The alcohol may, if desired, be first passed over a dehydrating catalyst, and the olefine resulting passed over a dehydrogenating catalyst, or vice versa. Specifications 5932/10, 9722/11, and 17,234/12 are referred to.

The gap D is short compared with the gap E, and the inductance L is of the same order as the inductance H. As long as a discharge is passing at the gap E, the gap D short-circuits the inductance L, but as soon as the spark ceases, the inductance L is included in the primary circuit, throwing it out of tune with the aerial circuit so as to prevent re-starting of the discharge by the energy transferred back from the aerial. The auxiliary gap may be inserted in the aerial circuit or so as to be common to both circuits. as shown in Fig. 3. Specifications 11,575/97 and 18,545/10 are referred to.

The free ends of the asbestos threads carried by the needles are bent against the needles by a pair of pins 40, 41, Fig. 10, and as they pass the pins spring out so as to hook around the pins, as shown in Fig. 12. The pins are then moved rearwards to draw thread through the needle eyes, and downwards so that the hooked thread ends are gripped. The thread ends are held until the completion of the rearward movement of the needles. Knives 42, 43 then sever the threads between the mantle head and the needles, and the thread ends are subsequently tied together by hand. The needlebars 6 are provided with yokes 20 which embrace actuating - cams 23. The central comb 13 is fixed. The outer combs 11, 12 are carried by pivoted levers oscillated by cam-levers 14. The cutters are operated by cam-levers 45. The thread-retaining fingers 40, 41 are carried by a bar 24 of a frame 25 which slides in a swinging frame 35.
